Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sparkli at none against Lovewick's 3. Lovewick's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 30). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lovewick sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Sparkli asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lovewick holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lovewick has 1.9K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Lovewick's written reviews are positive against 78% of Sparkli's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lovewick ships an update every 11 days, Sparkli every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
